>> reporter: public schools has 5,000 security cameras and according to multiple sources the footage inside rockville high shows there's no way for school security to actually watch all those cameras. the video from inside shows a nearly empty hallway which makes it easier to see the young girl hand in hand with a taller boy first in the hall then entering the boys bathroom where they disappear for minutes. no security staff is seen. no one trying to intervene or check on them. the two teen boys in this video were charged with rape. that criminal case later clansed. this video does not show what happened inside the bathroom, montgomery county parents say its troubling students could so easily vanish in a boy's room. >> it's a huge problem. >> reporter: security staffers should be seen. >> it's all playing defense, defense, defense. it's never being proactive. they're not monitored. >> repor a

news news4 i-team. the security hub in rockville staff there can monitor the 5,000 cameras inside the system's 200 plus buildings. with so many cameras -- this is an nbc news special report. here's lester holt. we're on the air with a major development in the investigation into russian influence as it may pertain to the trump white house and the trump campaign. we want to go right now to pete williams with word of the appointment of a special council to lead an investigation. pete. >> reporter: after serving as the deputy attorney general for 22 days the deputy rod rosenstein today took himself out of overseeing the russia investigation turning that over to robert muller, he has the former fbi director who served 12 years in that job. he was actually held over two extra years before james comey became the fbi director. he will have the

to investigate that any u.s. attorney would, including the power to file criminal charges. this is exactly what congressional democrats have been pushing for for the appointment of a special counsel ever since rosenstein was confirmed and partly because the attorney general jeff sessions has taken himself out of making any decisions about the investigation. so to be clear, mr. muller's per view will be the entire russia issue, the whole question of whether any associates of the trump campaign were in any way involved in helping the russians try to influence the election last year and any subsequent things that flow from that. now it's important to note, lester, that as the special prosecutor he's not completely independent like we used to have in the old days. special prosecutors are still subject to the control of the justice department but it's much more independent, it's much more separated from the political appointees than it would have been if rod rosenstein, a trump

ultimate decision maker about this investigation. >> and what about the work that's been done so far by the fbi? does that continue on, do they start from square one? >> reporter: they don't start from square one. the normal rule for special counsel is that they use the staffers provided by the justice department, typically career prosecutors but he does have the authority under the rules to bring in his own people, but lester, let's be clear, the immediate effectiveness is going to be to delay any ultimate decisions about the where the investigation goes, because when mr. muller comes on to the job he'll have to spend a good deal of time getting up to speed on it but he's certainly no stranger to the fbi having been the longest serving fbi director in history, second only of course to j. edgar hoover. >> pressure on this has been building since the president fired james

alexander at the white house. is there any reaction? >> reporter: we just reached out to the white house. we're hoping to get a reaction from them. within the last 48 hours as recently has monday we heard from the press secretary saying on behalf of the president that there is no need for a special prosecutor in the russia investigation, saying that the three investigations that existed with both the senate house intelligence committees involved was sufficient. the addition of another investigation, the addition of resources required would be effectively sue pump flewus. i don't know why you need additional resources when you already have three entities investigating this. this has been a remarkable last week, eight days really from the firing of james comey, then the meeting the next day with the russian ambassador and the russian foreign minster with the president where we would later

that meeting revealed highly classified intelligence to those two senior russian officials. within the last 24 hours we learned about the memo from the fbi director james comey basically commute indicating that in one of his conversations in private, the president said to him according to this memo that he basically should end the russia investigation. so now we have this which effectively takes it out of the hands of those others and the president. we wait for a reaction from him at any moment. >> former fbi director has now been named by the justice department to be a special counsel, special prosecutor if you will to look into possible collusion between russian influence and the trump campaign. we'll have full details of course coming up here very shortly on the east coast on "nbc nightly news," continuing coverage on nbc news.com as well. i'm lester holt in new york. we'll see you very he soon. >>

story that has moved really at warp speed. we're sorry we had to interrupt your earlier report about the story out of rockville high school, but scott, bob muller, former fbi director is a strong choice for this role. >> unique background for robert muller. not only was the fbi head he was extended beyond the normal ten year term. he led the fbi during post-9/11. in naming a special counsel, recognize who the justice department is pulling out of this investigation. three men with huge local ties, rod rosenstein, deputy attorney general, the longest serving u.s. attorney up to this year for maryland. the head of the fbi now is andy mccabe who was part of the investigation into d.c.'s former mayor vince gray in 2014 and dana boente. he was handling part of this investigation. he's in virginia. you've got three local figures now off the

at least temporarily as the special counsel gets on the job. >> he's been working at a local law firm in d.c. he presents a unique person seen as sort of a bipartisan figure which is pretty rare these days in washington. >> robert muller was on the short list of names being rumored to be the next fbi head to replace james comey, getting back to his old job. he's a local figure now replacing other local figures on the russian investigation. >> all right. thank you very much. >> hopefully we'll get back to your story that we interrupted in progress. right now we're going to go live to blayne alexander. she has been covering all of the new developments with the administration. she is live at the white house. hi. >> reporter: good evening to you. keep in mind that this breaking news comes less than 24 hours after reports that the president back in february asked then fbi director to drop an investigation into michael flynn. he's the national secit

lying over his ties with russia. the white house had repeatedly said that the president never asked comey or anyone else to drop any investigation and the president pushed back on those reports today. president trump offering some career advice to the coast guard academies class of 2017. >> over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair. >> reporter: thoughts from a commander in chief under fire. >> look at the way i've been treated lately. you can't let them get you down. >> reporter: a cheering crowd of cadets a stark contrast to the scene back in washington. >> facts, we need facts. >> reporter: capitol hill in an up roar over roorts that president trump asked fbi director james comey back in february to stop an investigation into michael flynn fired for lying about his ties with russia. >> our job is to

back to our top story now that was interrupted by that special report. two rockville high school students both of them immigrants accused of raping a 14-year-old girl inside a school bathroom. >> prosecutors dropped those charges and said they didn't have enough evidence. obviously it doesn't show what happened in the bang room, but it appears to show us what happened beforehand. there's no sign of security. and no indication anyone was watching as the students disappeared from public view. >> scott macfarlane tells us the videos raising questions about whether schools are doing enough to keep kids safe, scott. >> reporter: as we mentioned earlier montgomery county schools has 5,000 security cameras. and according to multiple sources the footage inside rockville high says there's no way for rockville security to

school in march shows a nearly empty hallway which makes it easier to see the young girl hand in hand with a taller boy first in the hall and then entering the boy's bathroom where they disappear for minutes. no security staff is seen. no one trying to intervene or check on them. the two teen boys believed to be seen in this video were charged with rape. montgomery county parents say it's troubling students could so easily vanish into a boys room. >> it's a huge problem. it's a huge problem. >> reporter: jennifer alvarious roe says security staffers should be seen. >> it's all playing defense, defense, defense. it's never being proactive. they're not monitored. >> reporter: a review by the i-team reveals possible weaknesses in the security camera system. in the hub staff there can monitor the 5,000 cameras inside the systems 200 plus
